Girls Gone Wild...for Monkeys
"Pornography studios might do well to take a tip from the Discovery Channel. According to a recent study, women are aroused by watching monkey sex. Sure, they're more aroused by watching human sex, but the loving habits of the bonobo monkey are enough to bring out the primate in any civilized lady.
The study, conducted by Meredith Chivers of the Center for Addiction and Mental Health and J. Michael Bailey of Northwestern University, was published in the October issue of Biological Psychology. The researchers found that while straight men are only aroused by females of the human variety, straight women are equally aroused by all human sexual activity, including lesbian, heterosexual and homosexual male sex, and at least somewhat aroused by nonhuman sex."
I have to wonder though how much of this is a variant of the "nature vs. nuture" arguement. i.e. if, due to cultural inhibitions, the men were afraid to show any stimui response to anything other than women. Food for thought.
